The Perfect Takeaway | No More Inside Club

All right. We wanna get that perfect takeaway, get a nice little draw, very straight shots. Well, why is the takeaway important? What is the perfect takeaway? Well, what a lot of play players will do is this club head will immediately go to the inside. So my club clubhead starts to loop to the. from there, I really can't swing from this position.

I'd be swinging way inside out, which obviously isn't gonna work. Your body realizes this, and once it gets inside here, we start to steepen it up in the down swing. And before we know it, our club shaft is very steep. We're coming up out of our posture to compensate for that. We're chunking and thinning.

We're doing all these different things that we don't want to, and that can all stem from this inside takeaway here. Well, It's actually not the club head that's causing the inside takeaway. It's the hands You see, when I, every, every single person I've ever had that does an inside takeaway, if I was to draw a line on the front of the hands, so let's take my normal setup, my normal grip here, and if I was gonna put a line, a vertical line on the front of my hand here, when they start the takeaway, their hands will pop outside of that line.

So their hands move This. And that forces the club to move in. So it looks like this. So there's the inside takeaway. My hands pop out, the club pops in, and then all of a sudden I'm steeping the downswing. The solution is, I wanna feel like if I took that vertical line again, my hands never go outside that line.

And when my hands go in, the club head naturally stays out. It's not gonna get sucked in like this. So if you imagine, again, another way of visualizing. . Imagine the hands are swinging on an arc here, and the bottom of that arc or the bottom of that hoop would be right here at a dress. So that's the farthest.

This way the hands are gonna get in the entire swing. As they come back, they go to the inside. As they make a down swing, they go to here, and then they start to go back to the inside again. So we never really want the hands to go outside of that. We want to feel like the hands immediately go up that. As you're going back, and that's gonna keep the club head out here.

Now, once the club head gets out here, as we change direction, it naturally shallows out. It's very easy to come from the inside and get that great looking swing. So you want to feel like the hands go in immediately. The club head stays outside of it, and then the transition, that's a sensation that you wanna have.

Now, you can do that in a variety of ways to get feedback. I really like having a little device like. Where I can put a pool noodle or you could really use anything, but anything that's gonna set on the front of my hands here. Let's go ahead and get a golf ball up here. So I'm gonna set this golf ball up.

I'm gonna set my club behind it, and now I'm gonna position this pool noodle until it's resting on the front of my hands here. Now if I do the wrong takeaway, I'm gonna do this. My hands are gonna go out, push the pool noodle out, and my club goes in. Obviously it makes it a total mess. If I do the right kind of takeaway, my hands immediately start to go to the inside.

You notice that clubhead stays out and then I shallow it out, and then I feel like I'm actually letting my, my butt, my rear end drop back in the transition. I don't want my rear end going forward, me standing up outta my posture. I'm gonna feel like I go back to make space, and the sensation is I feel like I can bring my hands.

Inside that pull noodle, again, stay in my posture and then hit through the shot. Now, obviously I can't swing through with this big thing in the way, but that gives you immediate feedback. If the hands go out, hit this noodle, that club head is going in every single time. No matter how much you work on the club head, that's not the problem.

The hands and the first move with it is what dictates all that. So let's have this same sensation. I'm gonna go ahead. I've done a few reps there. I'm gonna feel like immediately my hands go in, I drop back to get under that. and I come from the inside. That's gonna get my club going back in. A great takeaway and a nice tight little draw on this shot.

Let's give it a whirl.

There we go. Not gonna hit one. Much better than that. Draw 'em back really nicely. That's the type of shot shape that I like to have. I really want this, the shape of the shot to be co. And having the club moving in a consistent way is how that's gonna happen. So notice how the tracer, this black line.

Notice how it's tracing the same curve. I may miss shots a little bit to the left. Miss shots a little bit to the right. Nobody's perfect, but I want that draw that same curvature every single time. And the only way I'm gonna get that, I can't have the club come in here and get steep, where all of a sudden the club's going all over the place.

I'm gonna be very inconsistent. One of 'em is gonna fade. One of 'em gonna. One of 'em gonna be thin, one of 'em is gonna be a chunk. Now there's still one piece of this that we have to get down. You see when we get that takeaway to the inside, so let's say we get the hands moving back in. What do we do with it from there?

We talked about how this is gonna get the club on plane. It's gonna shallow it out a little bit easier, but then we have to square the face up the right way, the way that the pros are doing it. Now, that's what I'm gonna teach you in the move section, the top speed golf system. So if you click on the instruction tab, top speed golf system, and then the move, if you're a.

You work through that series of drills, and I'm gonna show you piece number two to this. So piece number one is we can't have those hands pop out, get the club in, and then start chopping down steeply on there. It's gonna be impossible to be consistent like we want. Piece number two is we have to learn how to slot this club from the inside on the downswing and square it up every single time so that every single shot is a draw.

That's what I want you to do. I want you to build on your takeaway with this video, and then from there, Ingrain the downswing. I wanna give you the feeling of being able to hit draw after draw after draw, which I teach you in the move. When you put those two things together, you're gonna be hitting it fantastic.

Really, the goal of golf is to be able to swing and have a feeling that gets you a consistent result. And a lot of players have never been taught the right feeling for squaring the club face from coming to the inside, getting the club face to close on its own so that you have every single shot turnover from right to left and until you learn.

It's gonna be pretty daggon difficult to play this game. So head on over to the move now and I wanna challenge you to just do the first video from there. Once you do it, you're gonna be hooked. Now your take, your takeaway's gonna be looking good. Let's get the impact, the feeling of great consistent impact ingrained two.

So head on over the move, do one video today. I can't wait to see you there. Let's go and get started right now.
